WARNING
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons
can result in hazards to you and others. Installation
MUST conform to local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, to codes of the country having
jurisdiction.
The information contained in this manual is
intended for use by a qualified service technician
familiar with safety procedures and equipped with
the proper tools and test instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions
in this manual can result in furnace malfunction,
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNING
Fire hazard
The furnace must be installed in a level position,
never where it will slope toward the front.
If the furnace is not installed level, oil will drain into
the furnace vestibule and create a fire hazard,
instead of being directed into the combustion
chamber.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the installation conforms
to governing local and/or national codes and ordinances.
